Grief-stricken phase of life,because my loving mother has left for her heavenly abode.

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” 

“There is no home as comfortable as your father's arms and no bed as soft as your mother's lap.” 

“An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior.” 

“Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways. ”
― Oscar Wilde

Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world.

Last night
the rain
spoke to me
slowly, saying,
what joy
to come falling
out of the brisk cloud,
to be happy again
in a new way
on the earth!
That’s what it said
as it dropped,
smelling of iron,
and vanished
like a dream of the ocean
into the branches
and the grass below.
Then it was over.
The sky cleared.
I was standing
under a tree.
The tree was a tree
with happy leaves,
and I was myself,
and there were stars in the sky
that were also themselves
at the moment
at which moment
my right hand
was holding my left hand
which was holding the tree
which was filled with stars
and the soft rain –
imagine! imagine!
the long and wondrous journeys
still to be ours.”
― Mary Oliver
